Upstream Lyrics by Anna Bates

Here’s To the End - EP

2022

[Verse 1]
I'm making it harder than it has to be
But nothing has ever been easy
And here we go, around the bend I tell myself, "Get in"

[Verse 2]
And if I could let it ride I'd take my time and free my mind
When I can give it up
So I curse your name at night, I'd rather fight than let it slide
'Cause I can't get enough

[Chorus]
I scream, swimming upstream
Thinking of you, with my head underwater
And you're moving through my bloodstream
With every heartbeat, it's getting hard to remember to breathe

[Verse 3]
I wonder if we'll ever break a spot of luck
It's circular, this train of thought, I find it hard to stop
So I'll try and tuck it down until I find my way around the space I'm in
Turn the hourglass about and all the sand is running out, the air is thin

[Chorus]
I scream, swimming upstream
Thinking of you, with my head underwater
And you're moving through my bloodstream
With every heartbeat, it's getting hard to remember to breathe

[Bridge]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven

[Pre-Chorus]
I scream, swimming upstream
Thinking of you, with my head underwater
And you're moving through my bloodstream
With every heartbeat, it's getting hard to remember to breathe

[Chorus]
I scream, swimming upstream
Thinking of you, with my head underwater
And you're moving through my bloodstream
With every heartbeat, it's getting hard to remember to breathe

[Outro]
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven) It's getting hard to remember to breathe
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven) It's getting hard to remember to breathe
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven) It's getting hard to remember to breathe
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven)
